Throughout history, many famous men who had achieved many great things, became real weird when it came to sex.

How did Theodora become Empress of the Byzantine Empire? A former prostitute who then became an exotic dancer (i.e. a stripper):

“Theodora made a name for herself with her portrayal of Leda and the Swan, where she stripped off her clothes as far as the law allowed, lying on her back while some attendants scattered barley on her groin and then some geese picked up the barley with their bills.”

Those performances turned on Justinian I and he asked her to be his wife. And after his death, she became Empress.

All that for a striptease and a lap dance.
